The property was cleaned perfectly. Everything that you needed was included in the room, the additional towels for the beach was a great extra. The location was very near some gorgeous food spots.

Nice clean space with all the things you need for a short stay in magnetic island. The place had brilliant amenities and a good location.
Loved the area. Felt a very secluded part of the island, so we just loved that. Beautiful right on the beachfront. No road in front, completely relaxing, felt very different than other parts of the island.

We did the Hawkins Bay walk very steep need good fitness but the view was very rewarding once you reached the top. The Jetty is great both day and the lights are lovely at night time. We ate at the R & R hotel great meals beautiful fish tank and the service was great too. Also you must visit the Museum.

Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful. The jetty was busy with fishermen on the weekend but quiet otherwise.
Not many food options and very few shops. I’m glad we had our car to travel over to other areas.

Picnic Bay is the quieter end of Magnetic Island with a lovely beach lots of birdlife and well cared for Mall area filled with shaded seating areas , magnificent Fig trees and a hotel which serves good food with bright cheerful service. There are other options for meals and more to be found in the other bay areas and the local bus service will take to all the beauty spots on the Island. If you want a relaxing holiday Picnic Bay is an excellent choice.

Rob and Jen were great hosts and the accommodation is well positioned close to the beach and cafes. There are plenty of nice walks from Picnic Point and a regular bus that runs all over the island.
There are stinger nets on the beach and the waterfront is gorgeous.
Tropical Palms has clean rooms with stove, fridge and microwave with aircon, tv and a covered pool and bbq. An affordable home away from home on this beautiful island.

Very limited choice for dining ( particularly breakfast)
One coffee shop very expensive for what you get.
Picnic Bay foreshore is like a ghost town in the mornings
We loved Turtle Cottage! Our highlight was to find two koalas in the tree in front of the house. The house itself is spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen fully equipped. There's also a big pattio in the garden, where we could relax and eat in the shade. We loved waking up to the sound of birds. It's just a short walk to Picnic Bay beach, which has a stinger net. This is also where the bus stops, so it's easy to travel to Nelly Bay or other parts of the island. The owners are very lovely and helpful.
The large deck was exceptional, with plenty of comfortable seating, and the barbeque was a welcome feature. The beach and eating venues were in easy walking distance. Local wildlife was in abundance, with nightly visits from possums, and a koala visible in the trees across the road from the property. Kitchen crockery/cutlery was very adequate, and cooking facilities also adequate. The complimentary bag of ice came in handy.
We always have a great stay at C stay! Friendly owner and great little rooms that have a fridge, air con - a sink and somewhere to hang your clothes - everyone is always so friendly! You just have to remember to bring your own food and drinks as there is no supermarket in Picnic Bay - but the pub sells soft drinks etc for takeaway in the bottleshop and they do great meals as well as a few other places there!
Serenity was an exceptional find! With new modern upgrades, the room was spacious and well appointed with a bed I instantly fell asleep on and slept like a baby. Access could not have been easier and it as an ideal location being a short walk from the beach and local restaurants.
Serenity is ideally placed for Picnic Bay - it is maybe 400m from the beach, restaurants, transport and local attractions.
The location was perfect with only a short walk to the beach,, stinger net, hotel, cafe/restaurant and craft brewery. Beautiful quiet bay for beach walking. Small cafe Mama Roma did their best to create evening, alfresco ambience with a simple menu but good food. Only light traffic on nearby roads and a few minutes to Foodworks for any groceries and the ferry terminal at Nelly Bay for the trip home.
The place itself is great. The owner gave me a bunch of activities to do. all his rentals were super affordable including his little shop which has everything you need to make a meal. The bus drivers will drop you right at the property. The other bus stop is a 2 min walk away. It is also beside picnic bay one of the only places with nets in the water so you can swim! Highly recommend
Very nice and quiet small villa with sea view, separated from the beach only by a small road. Well thought out floor plan with a small pool between the bedroom and the living elements. Picnic Bay is ideal to relax. Good restaurants and a great brewery on site. Well served by public bus.
Peace and quiet, not crowded, close to everything we wanted, restaurants, hotel, beach erc.
Reception explained where there were things of interest to do/see in all the bays. Very helpful.
Will go again and recommend to others.
very comfortable, clean, well equipped with stove, microwave, utensils etc. Very clean property, located close to Picnic Bay and walking distance from excellent restaurants and the brewery.
this is a delightful chalet located very close to Picnic bay beach. we enjoyed cooking a bbq on the porch and thought the chalet had everything you needed for a very pleasant stay.
The location is spectacular, the host incredibly helpful and the accommodation had an incredible amount of room. This holiday house has everything you could possibly ask for!
So spacious with plenty of room to relax and be as a family. The location in Picnic Bay is great - right down the street from the pier, playground and swimming beach.
